Does it match around the typical diameters of this type in other examples online? Casted coins will usually have a casting seam which the counterfeiter will file off or grind it to remove the outer casting seams.</p><p>You can also try to use a magnifying glass or loupe to inspect the details of this coin further to be sure. Look at how the details on the coin pop out of the surface, if it looks too smooth or sharp then it&#039;s casted.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
